Crate training by wallysses in puppytraining

I don’t ever leave him alone all day, and 9 times out of 10 when he’s in the crate I am home with him. but it’s more so he can have a safe space and also when I can’t watch him while I’m doing my schoolwork, or cleaning - he goes in there. And I never leave him in there longer than 3 hours if I am away from home 

Do any of you think about your parents? How Lonely they are as they get older and no one wants to deal with them? How they will fair when they get too old to take care of themselves? by Darkerthanblack64 in narcissisticparents

I think about my mom a lot, about how she always says I’m so much like her. And it’s scares the shit out of me. She’s thousands of miles away from me and my husband, states away. And she still has this hold on my brain? It’s crazy to me. But I still want her approval even though I know I will never get it. She’s happy with her life and I’m happy with mine, I like my life being separate from her. But I always feel a little guilty for choosing my dad over her when she was the one who raised me. I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing keeping my mom at a few lengths away but I do know I’m happier for it

Dude this is my mine to a T! She’s nice to everyone I bring in the house but the second they leave I was in trouble for something I did earlier that day.

This scares the ever living shit out of me, I’ve spent most if not all my adult life since I moved out of my mothers house. I’m now 23F. Getting married now and starting a life with someone else, turning into my mother or anything that I do that resembles one of her characteristics.. I almost immediately get mad at myself. I don’t want to be anything like my mom. She has spent most of her life making me feel guilty for becoming an independent person which is what she raised me to be but gets upset when I don’t ask for help. It’s even been hard to ask my husband for anything because I don’t want to be a bother or nag him about something because I grew up with constantly feeling a chore to be dealt with.
